Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

The court would like to thank Mr Mac of Cesspool, Ohio for his learned findings. The court has carefully considered his findings and after due deliberation, would respond as follows, using, for ease of reference, the numbering set out in his own submissions:

1 the court considers that Mr Mac's inconclusive judgement is proabably flawed. It is obvious that during his extensive, and disturbingly knowledgeable, research into 'adult websites', Mr Mac's brain has turned to cream cheese, he has gone blind and his knees have turned to water. The court also suspects that he has sprained his wrist and should seek immediate medical attention.
The case in point is that the defendant admitted to frequenting adult sites (Quote "talk about it if I am not doing it" unquote) and that the phrase 'circling the wagons' resulted from a discussion on said adult site.

The court's view is that the defendant has already provided numerous confessions and entertainment with this regard. Guilty as charged.

2. The court thanks Mr Mac for correctly pointing out the discrepancy in the type of fauna inhabiting the defendant's top lip. The court would point out that as a European institution, it is not familiar with the native fauna found on the east coastal maritime regions of the continental United States and would appoint Mr Mac as its expert in this regard. The court would point out that it does have plenitentiary powers to levy charges against north american nationals.

Following Mr Mac's expert submission, the court has moved to amend the charges by removing references to 'prairie dogs' and replacing these with "Wooly Bear",as our expert has stated,a commonly known as a variety of catepillar. It is obvious to the court that this is the form of creature horribly abused by the defendant and forced to live on his top lip and therefore the defendant isa found guilty on all counts.

3. Following Mr Mac's expert submissions, the court has reviewed the evidence levied against the defendant. After discussion with our learned colleague in the european union, it has been agreed that line dancing is a crime against humanity. The court will consider sentence after this hearing.

4. The court thanks Mr Mac for this evidence but would suggest that this is not the most forums conveniens in order to conduct sophistry. The court considers that the differential headgear mentioned in Mr Mac's submissions is pure semantics. The defendant is accused of wearing a silly hat with a large brim reminiscient of a variety of historical wild west hollywood figures. The court finds the defendant guilty as charged.

On a general point, the court would like to thank Mr Mac for his investigative efforts and would suggest that at his age, he should have a nice cup of tea and a sit down. A pair of slippers and a comfy chair are also suggested

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Ahem, If it please the court, I would like to address a vote on the appeal as filed herein by the defendent, the "Gryphin", in the capacity as a friend of the court and as a class action.

1. The Gryphin has shown thru prior testimony and thru photos on his website of attending the hobby of hiking as well as recording photos of various topography within the Continental U.S. This is very condemning on his part in regards to "Line Dancing". The excuse of "due to my eyesight" is found to be misleading, inappropriate, a sham and filled with irregularities. Since the ritual of "Line Dancing" cause one to be within close approximation of others as well as a particular dress code, which the defendent has stated prior, that he imbibs upon, his excuse just doesn't hold water. Further, since the ritual involves gyrations, movement, and the clinging of one to another, I do not see how eyesite has any bearing upon this issue. Therefore, my vote remains in favor of Growltigga.

2. Inregards to voluntering a specifman from the "Wooly Bear" in question, after medical and scientific discussions with those of higher knowledge in this type of endeavor, it has been determined that, In all likely hood, the small furball has become involved in a symbiote relationship with the Gryphin due to the amount of time it was incarcerated or forced to remain upon the upper lip of the defendent, in violation of the Humane Acts within this country. Therefore, any type or amount of plucking of this poor much abused creature, would have dire consequences tantamont to a possible nervous breakdown or of such disgusting secreations that it would be considered cruel and painful to the little criter. Therefore, I would like to beseech the court to let prior testimony stand and to be judged upon there merits without the unnecessary torture of the little fur ball residing upon the Gryphin's protruding upper lip.

3. As I am typing this with my left hand, (the right one is recovering from being overworked during the extensive research on the Adult sites,) I must pause for a break before answering the appeal in regards to Circle the Wagons and the Gryphin Position. (However, in closing, I would just like to remark, that if the Gryphin would like to enter photos of the ahem experiment, it might help to better decide this issue before the court. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

The defendant will put a sock in it whilst the court is in session. It should be pointed out to the defendant that as the court has decreed that line dancing is now a crime against humanity, international public law applies and as the United States of America is party to, and has ratified, both the Hague Convention and the Lugano Treaty, international jurisprudence applies.

The weight of evidence against the defendant is also sufficient to indicate that he is guilty until proven innocent.

The defendant should also realise that as international law applies, there is no trial by jury. The judge will proclaim judgement once all expert testimonials have been received. The testimonial of Mr Mac of Quagmire, Ohio is useful evidence, but it should be added that his sanity is subject to separate court investigation so all evidence from him may be struck out.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Greetings to Mac....

Mac, Shrek wasn't a lawyer he was a solicitor. Nothing could be as green and cold as an English lower level court official. I believe we are insulting the animation.

I wish to thank you, with deepest admiration for your studies into my Dear Gryphin's defense in this abusurd pompous, ill conceived, debaucle of a "case". I am sorry to hear of your injuries and pray they heal most expediently. (how did you explain this to Mrs. Mac?)

Point to make if I may, a solicitor is a lower level, civil, will-making being. I think that our "es-steamed" Mr. Tiggles is passing himself off as a more reputable barrister and is totally unqualified to address such a high level court as befits the bogus accusations brought against my Dear Gryphin.

I would humbly suggest that this sham of a case be summarily dismissed. I also request that Mr. Tiggles make haste to the icecream stand to purchase a suitable confection for Dear Gryphin, in as much as he has slandered and blackened his white hat image in these proceedings.

I would also request that all references to things native to the wild west and its regions be hereby stricken as Mr. Tiggles is apparently jealous of any such references due to the fact he lives on a tiny island with his cousin's cousin's cousin.

In conclusion.. nice to meet you all!

Mephisto, my most humblest and sincere apoligies. I did not mean to infer this discription as to yourself. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I have met over the years some few lawyers who more then fit the description, HOWEVER, I did not mean nor classify you in their catagory. I should have been a little more specific, sometimes I do put my foot where it doesn't belong, I meant no ill will towards you.

Gryphin Frye, I welcome you to the forum and the G&G Thread, and thank you for the concern of my most recent injury. However, Mrs M was actually delighted as she was thinking of obtaining a restraining order or TPO against Mr Righty as he was seemly becoming more frisky due to the amount of scientific research that I was conducting on various aspects of the case, especially on those ahhemmm Adult Sites, and the "Twinkle" was starting to appear more often then usual. (sigh)
Lefty just doesn't have the strength to carry on without him since he has taken over the majority of the work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

In regards to the Tigga, I appreciate the input as to the true meaning of Solicitor as used outside of the US. I always thought Solicitor and Lawyer meant the same in all regards all over. Around here, Some lawyers are referred sometimes as Solicitor, however, both carry the same meaning, at lease as far as I know.

In regards to the wild west, you may have a point after the Tigga's most recent escapade concerning the attack or mugging of a small, innocent, porcupine, which was in all probablity, just going about his everyday business of looking for grubs, ants or whatever they eat, when all of a sudden he is set upon in a most undignified and unannounced intrusion which I'm sure he/she is still reliving in his/her dreams to this day. At the very least, the poor little thing should have been whisked away to a therepist for theraputic treatment to ensure his future mental state let alone the traumaization this in all likely hood caused its family upon the gruesome facts being revealed upon its return to its burrow. Yes, this could cause some biasedness upon the current proceedings. The Gryphin may have a case for a mistrial.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

As a member of the jury, I move to have to judge removed from the proceedings. His comments have caused me personally, and the people of my nation generally, great emotional unrest. Given that his comments are clearly hate literature and an incitement of violence against a particular social group or nationality, he should be removed from this trial and charged accordingly.

Please find below the posting of Mr. Growltigga on February 15, 2002. In said posting, Mr. Growltigga states “kick a canadian for me”, a clear statement of discrimination based upon nationality. The 1952 UN Declaration on Refugees clearly states that this type of activity amounts to persecution. This Declaration been signed by most nations of the world, including Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Kenya and Spain. Should anyone be truly interested, I can provide links to the appropriate websites or post the body of the declaration.

Given that Mr. Growltigga was undoubtedly in one of the above jurisdictions when the statement was made and that key members of this tribunal were similarly situated, it is clear that he ,and these proceeding, fall under the Convention. As such, his clear verbal persecution of Canadians, in contravention of the Convention, disqualifies him from hearing this case.

Further, his latent English Imperialism and condensation towards Canada and Canadians clearly makes a mockery of his double standard accusations of Imperialism towards other members of the forum. One who clearly holds one set of values while espousing a radically different set is clearly not fit to render judgment, nor press charges, against honest and upright individuals such as Gryphin.

This member of the jury votes to acquit Gryphin of all charges. However, he will also admit puzzlement at how wearing a distinguished and manly mustache could be a criminal offense. Perhaps the rot that set into the Mother Country, causing the loss of Empire, has spread genetically and the English now lack the testosterone to grow that which distinguishes man from boy.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

As seen within the courts members, it appears that there is a question of biasness and/or discrimination in conjunction with a member of the court. The Honorable Saxon has made a motion for acquital of the defendent based upon the most exlempory of points under the law due to the apparent atrocitious conduct of one Growltigga, solicitor, Therefore, the case should be granted a stay until a vote by the court members as to the mental status of said presiding magistrate and an appropriate response. Those in favor of either an acquital or stay of these proceedings please signify by voting yea or nay and expostulating their choice.

PS. In addition, due to the upcoming PBW game later this year, those who are willing to take part, start considering upon the names and backrounds of their respective species in order for the other species to begin a dialoge with in preparation of the eternal conflict that shall rage upon open space

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Saxon, in all fairness to Mr Growltigga, or Tiggles as coined by Gryphin Frye, I reviewed his accusations and could not find anywhere that he slandered or debased "The Mustache". He belatedly pointed out that it appeared that a "rodent" had taken up residence on the upper torso of The Gryphin. However, after extensive scientific study, it was determined that it was neither a Mustache nor a rodent, but was in fact a form of Wooly Bear catipillar. For some reason, whether by force or voluntarily, the little furball took up a symbiote residence upon the upper lip of Mr Gryphin. This can be beared out by the use of a magnifying glass on the photo in question that resides in Mr Gryphin's Web site. In fact if you look closely at the upper right cornor of the little creatures anatamy, you shall see what appears in texture and color, an article, that resembles what GT described as the "Custer Hat", between what apparently could be construed as its ears. Apparently the little darling is going thru an identity crisis and is trying to identify with its current host. There is no logical explanation for this type of relationship, but in no way should this be mixed in correlation to a Mustache. In fact, this could, by Gryphin's own statments, attribute to his extracurricular activities in regards to numerous dates. Similiar when one gives another a soft, cuddly, cute Teddy Bear. As has been proven over and over, some types just can't resist these types of enhancements and become intriged by soft, cuddly, creatures. It becomes quite a conversational piece, which in turn could, raise one's chances of obtaining an above normal number of dates. The exact reason the furball is there, will probably never be know, as communication has not been established as far as we know. I hope this explanation relieves your fears of Mustache Bashing by the Tigga. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Mac,

The scientific research which you have cited is convincing and I am finding myself having to review and question my earlier decisions. The delightful woman, Ms. Fyre, offers first hand evidence in support of the view that the item in question is in fact a Moustache, but her subsequent statements throw doubt upon impartiality of her testimony. Given these doubts, the court should consider accepting the Woolly Caterpillar explanation for the observed phenomenon.

Members of the court will clearly wish to know the grounds upon which Ms. Fyre has lost her accreditation as an unbiased observer and may be shocked to learn that she shares anti-Canadian views with the questionable Mr. Tigga. However, she has slandered the “large black furry hat like objects found on the militia on a small island”, exposing her true colours. For those of you who are unaware, these hats are of Canadian origin, as the English exterminated all wild bears on their island by the Middle Ages. While bear baiting continued as a popular sport (continued in modern form as Tigga baiting), these animals were European imports.

As such, Ms. Fyre has clearly indicated that she harbours latent anti-Canadianism and we must take her views with this in mind. Given the widespread anti-Canadianism present in the media today, the figure skating scandal being but one example, it is not surprising to find it occurring in witnesses of the court. Moreover, Ms. Fyre is clearly of otherwise good character and loves small children, so this member of the jury is inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to her.

As such, I will confirm my declaration that the object in said photo is in fact a Moustache and not a Woolly Caterpillar. Those who wish to look upon this logic with condescension may go and have condensation fall upon them.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

In all deferance to M'Lady Fyre, I must agree with the Honorable Saxon as to the possible biasedness in regards to the furry criter inhabiting the upper torso of The Gryphin. Since the Good Lady is associated with the Gryphin her testimony is suspect, no offense intended M'Lady,
therefore, I must stand by the scientific evidence in regards to the Wooly Bear. It also strengthens my hypothisis that there are those out there that in fact are taken in or become enchanted with small furry, cute, and fuzzy creatures that become attached to a host. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif In regards to the questions of the Blk hats, I must demur a response, as I currently do not possess sufficient knowledge at the present to encampus a proper comment upon the question as put foreward by members of this forum.

M'Lady, I agree banter is all in jest and is not intended to flame, imbroil, offend or target anyone or one's state or country maliciously, and look foreward to facilitating the aspects within this thread with yourself as well as all those who wish to join in.

mac,
um, I think you addressed Gryphins Fyre, but seemed to be discussing my post. Are you feeling ok? Are you still in shock from your reserch?

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Not really my good Gyphin. I just jumbled everything together. M'Lady talked about banter being in jest, I agreed, Saxon, yourself and M'Lady talked about blk hats, I just gave a response, etc. I was always taught when addressing a group the Ladies were always addressed first. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif So you see, my senility is not quite that bad yet, tho my recovery from my injury in regards to my research does slow me down somewhat. (sigh) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

just some ideas mac

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

mac, Maybe Gryphin's Fyre would be interested in assiting you with your recovery. I don't know. You can check.

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Ahh yes Good Sir Mac, I am associated with Sir Gryphin, but I am quite aware of my independence and therefore would tell you, as he will confirm, I am a very fair and honest being. I will not stand for lies, cheats, ignoble acts and basic bullocks-type attitudes. I stand very separate from Sir Gryphin and will not falsely attest to anything, no matter who would benefit, and the subsequent consequences that befall my truthful position are minor to bear, and I do so bear them with glee. &lt;silly smile&gt;

I, having raised two girls, 20 and 19, on my own, am not taken in by ANYTHING “small, furry, cute and fuzzy” especially being a “creature”. I know this involves a long-term commitment, usually involving a veterinarian and large amounts of litter of some type. Being one who is much inundated by various droppings of all nature (being I work for the Commonwealth) I certainly will not take such a creature on. (Men included)

Black hats.. ahh yes… reference to the guards I have seen outside the various encampments in London … no reference to my kind Canadian neighbours, Dear Saxon, for whom I have held close to my heart since they helped the American hostages held in Iran, between 1979-81. “Oh Canada” was, and always is oft on my lips by way of my heart. I thank you for your kindnesses in trusting my judgment on the veracity of the “moustache” situation. No animals are ever harmed while in my view.

Even though I was once employed in a hospital, I feel that injuries as deeply wounding such as yours, are best left to the closest expert (see Mrs. Mac.) Had you not an expert in your life, I would be most pleased to offer assistance. (Refer to my rules above.) Sir Gryphin is most liberally revealing my kindhearted talents … and accommodating demeanor.

Humbly submitted for your perusal, Gryphin’s Fyre

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

This thread is getting stranger by the day - it has gone from sounding like a bad court drama to something more akin to a really bad 1950's mediaval movie starring douglas fairbanks jnr and basil rathbone

First, greetings to Gryphin's Fyre, glad you can join us on this enlightening and interesting thread.

Secondly, you are about 25 years out of date on solictors. Barristers lost their exclusive rights to the higher courts in the early 80's - a solicitor is the same description as a US attorney ie a general description - some of us may specialise in what we term high street matters eg wills, divorces, house purchases, neighbour disputes, other of us are corporate/commercial lawyers to purely act for businesses and corporations. I am of the latter persuasion and specialise in finance and corporate law.

Thirdly, I like Canadians. I have every Rush CD going and even one from Honeymoon Suite. If that is not evidence of being Canadian friendly, then what is??? I even hope you guys win the gold in the ice hockey - Saxon, apologies if I have causesd offence - I am sure there is no truth whatsoever in rumours of moose kissing north of the border

Fourthly, Gryphin's Fyre - your remark about English being cousins of each other ie implying we are imbred etc is slightly triple O. The UK has historically one of the most generous immigration policies in the world and is truly multicultural. That is one of the reassons there are 65 million of us on an island half the size of California. We even have the Welsh for cripes sake

Fifthly, Mac, I agree and concur with Mephisto on your lawyer remark. We have your name, we have your address. You have been warned.

Sixthly, the general consensus is that Guffin does dress like a cowboy and that he does have a ridiculous furry thing on his top lip - whether this is an animal (as the court queried) or part of him is irrevelant - what is salient is how silly it is which seems to have been agreed by general consensus

Seventh, this is my court, anyone dont like the judge can take a long walk off a short pier

Eighthly, Guff, is that site up yet?

Ninth, I have sneaking suspicions that Gryphin's Fyre and Gryphin are one and the same. If this is the case, LOL - keep an eye out for another new member called Mrs Tigga - if not, nice to meet you Mrs Gryphin. you are a brave and non-selective lady

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Thank you Guff, I really did enjoy my holiday - Madrid is an excellent city for sight seeing, eating and drinking and shopping. Wonderful place, wonderful people, real sense of enjoyment in life which for us north europeans, can sometimes seem so refreshing, especially in the horrible weather you get in February in Manchester

Good for you, keep on trying to parry and thrust, however ineffectual it may be

Pity the other site is not ready, I look forward to continuing our discussions on that site sans you know who

Fair comment re your furry fella but then women are notorious in their strange tastes in men, after all, Mrs GT married me, Mephisto [probably] has a girlfriend and even Mac has had his input into the genetic pool

I am the judge and I preside here because of, to quote the old adage, "peace through superior firepower" - you need a lawyer to be a judge, that means me or Mephisto - take your pick

I am always in good spirits, this week I am in Manzanilla, Montilla and a particularily fine rioja - this weekend I will probably be in Jack Daniels

Taste of what medecine?? your Posts for the Last 2 weeks have been on the back foot all the way - it will take more than Mac and Saxon to win this one for you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

and how much is he paying you??

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
 

Gryphin’s Fyre,

It is good to hear that you are free of the taint of anti-Candianism. I noted that your associate, Gryphin, has pictures of Maple Leaves on his web site. Which brings me to an important point. Does he give you as many roses as the pictures he takes of roses? I do hope so.

Mac,

This may be a heretical question, but will the big match be played in Gold? As for race design and personality, you talked about a pre game dialogue. Other than the “Coalition to Fight the Dark and Evil Force that is Tigga” which appears to be forming, did you have anything in mind when you mention a dialogue?

Further, due to some (insert ungentlemanly language here) who work at State Department, by annual leave has been cancelled. No sitting on the beach near Cape Town, I am going to be hiring new staff and buying new computers here. When Tigga gets back, I am excited to get the game fired up. Do you think we can look at changing the start date?

As you know, we all look to you as our natural leader and organizer, so it should come as no surprise that you are getting asked these questions.

Eh? I am genuinely shocked at this!! isn't this a bit harsh?

With regard to Mac being your natural leader, I am glad to see that a geriatrocracy can exist on this forum that young bucks like Saxon have respect for their elders http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
